>>139102540

If it were up to me, I'd institute a three strikes rule on all media.
You get three chances. If you deliberately mislead or lie from a position of influence such as media has three times.

Strike One
>official retraction and huge fine
Strike Two
>official retraction, huge fine and the sacking of the individual who lied
Strike Three
>the media outlet is summarily shut down and banned

They are BIG.
Get big enough and you can no longer fall, but for an educated people it shouldn't matter.

I doubt everyone in Belgium just takes any piece of news completely without question

>>139102790
Well we have "fake news".

Problem is anyone remotely opposed to Trump will never consider CNN anything but a premier source of "news".

>>139102737
Meh, on their best day a couple million people watch them, and every last one is already a dem voter. The media's trustworthiness ratings are abysmal and almost literally zero among republicans.

Fun fact: Only 33% of CNN's own viewers trust CNN.

Man, you'd be surprised.

A lot of people sit there watching the news, and they will literally parrot certain phrases said by the newscaster, as if they're conditioning themselves.

News coverage on Trump here is basically copied from CNN, and almost everyone here simply accepts that bullshit as the truth.

>>139102936
Here in Belgium, state-funded news copies CNN's talking points literally.

It's depressing seeing Belgians swallow that crap hook, line, and sinker, while in the US a large part of the population knows it's bs.

>B..but it's not news if I don't agree with it!
Kek, and poltards make fun of leftists wanting a safe space. Looks like you need one too.

>>139104039
It's not news when it's bullshit.
